Promotional Trials
To better crack down on gamers who constantly hide in Ranked Play, Promotional Trials will be implemented In Season 19. Players will enter a Promotional Trial state when they reach the peak of their tier. During a Trial, LP loss and gains are frozen, allowing the player to focus on completing the trial:
- Completing the conditions of a Trial within the given match count limit (either by winning a game or completing the alternative) will allow promotion into the next tier with a 250 LP promotional bonus
- Failing to complete the Trial within the match limit results in the Trial ending and a loss of LP based on the player’s performance
- Trials are time-limited to 5 matches, increasing by 1 game each time a player fails and then reenters the same Trial, up to a max of 10 retries
- Promotional Trials are skipped during Provisional matches
Trial Tier | Main Condition | Alternative Condition |
Rookie → Bronze | Win a game | During the Trial:3x Top 5 placement get 6 Kills/Assists |

Ranked Adjustments
- Increasing the amount of Rating Bonus given to help players’ ranking catch up to their skill bracket
- Reduce the bonus that is withheld and thus the difficulty of climbing, when players are actively pushing against their skill ceiling
- Provisional Bonuses are adjusted to land players closer to the expected statistical 1.5-tier drop at the end of their 10 provisional games
Ranking difference restrictions for 3 stack premades have been REMOVED.
